Abstract

SEAM is in the process of obtaining bids for elastic simulation on the SEAM elastic deepwater model that was constructed using funding from the Research Partnership to Secure Energy for America (RPSEA subcontract # 07121-2001). The model is an extension of the SEAM Phase I model that was originally constructed as a variable-density acoustic model. Parameters for shear-wave velocity have been derived in addition to tilted transverse isotropy (TTI) parameters and resistivity. A brief update on the ongoing TTI simulations and the completed controlled-source electromagnetic (CSEM) simulations is provided below.
